How Tillmann Law Can Help With Your Portland Speeding Accident Claim

Speeding accidents are one of the more severe types of car accidents.

Modern motor vehicles are as safe as they have ever been, but the forces of nature always win in the end.

One thing is for certain, and that is that you deserve to be compensated for your injuries after a speeding accident in Portland, OR. The Portland car accident lawyers with Tillmann Law Personal Injury Lawyers are some of the most well-regarded in the area. Members of our legal team have been recognized as Super Lawyers by Super Lawyers Magazine and Top 100 Trial Lawyers by The National Trial Lawyers.

  • File a lawsuit and bring your case before a Multnomah County jury at trial if need be

If you’d like more information about how we can assist with your case, reach out to our law office in Portland today. Your initial case review is free of charge, and there are no strings attached.

How Often Do Car Accidents Occur in Portland?

The Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT) has an interactive map that represents car accident statistics for the area in a visually-appealing format. In addition, PBOT has published a Vision Zero Traffic Crash Report that contains further information, especially related to fatal car accidents.

According to PBOT data, there has been the following number of fatalities from motor vehicle accidents in the city:

  • 2022 (as of early December): 21 deaths
  • 2021: 36 deaths
  • 2020: 31 deaths
  • 2019: 31 deaths
  • 2018: 18 deaths

The number of accidents that result in a serious injury is usually between 100 and 200, depending on the year. When pedestrians and bicyclists are factored in, each of these figures rises significantly.

PBOT does not release data on the frequency of speeding accidents specifically. The crash report mentions that it is difficult to do so, partly because of the high number of hit-and-run accidents in the area. The report also notes that rising speeds greatly increase the chance of a serious injury or fatal crash.

What Damages Can I Receive from a Speeding Accident Claim in Portland, Oregon?

Even though Oregon is an at-fault state when it comes to car insurance, meaning you can generally file a claim against the driver responsible for the accident, it also requires its drivers to purchase Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage. This is a form of no-fault coverage, and persons involved in car accidents can utilize this coverage regardless of who caused the accident.

However, your PIP coverage might not be enough to cover all of your losses. If that is the case, it might become necessary to pursue compensation from the at-fault party. As part of that claim, you can receive economic damages as well as non-economic damages. Importantly, PIP coverage won’t compensate you for non-economic damages, examples of which include:

Economic damages make up for things like:

  • Lost wages
  • Decreased earning capacity
  • Medical bills
  • Repair costs

PIP can compensate you for some of these economic losses but not necessarily all of them. Reach out to our experienced Portland speeding accident attorneys today for legal advice on how best to proceed in your situation.

How Long Do I Have To File My Speeding Accident Lawsuit in Oregon?

In the State of Oregon, you’ll have two years from the date of the accident to file your lawsuit in most cases. This is the deadline that the state has set with its statute of limitations. If you file your lawsuit too late, you’ll lose your ability to obtain compensation for your injuries.

There are exceptions to this statute of limitations (for example, you’ll have three years if you need to file a wrongful death lawsuit), so it is best to contact our personal injury lawyers in Portland if you’re unsure of whether you still have time. We can help you find out during your free case evaluation.

You have options available to you after you’ve been in a speeding accident in the City of Portland, OR. You may be able to turn to your PIP coverage for compensation, but it might not be enough to make up for each of the consequences of the accident.

In that case, it might be in your best interest to seek a monetary award from the at-fault party. Tillmann Law Personal Injury Lawyers can handle every aspect of your compensation claim while you focus on recovering from the accident.

Our law firm also works on contingency, so it doesn’t cost you anything upfront to select us to work on your speeding accident case. We only make money if you do. Call us today to learn more.

I was involved in a serious auto accident. Not that there is a good time to be in any accident, it just happened to be 2020. Tillman Law and support staff kept me in the loop as the court system was disarray with all the Covid issues. The staff was very professional and courteous. In a nutshell, they took care of me.

My husband was in a bad car accident a few years back, and he was stopped due to traffic. He was behind a fuel truck, and someone rear-ended him, going 60mph. The worst part was our 6 mo old was in our and the truck was totaled beyond repair and my husbands back injured severly he ended up with 2 broken vertebrae. Our child had ptsd any time getting into a vehicle after that. Tillman made this right even though we couldn't do much for our son other comfort him and make car rides more comfortable from there on out Tillman was able to get my husband the money he deserved after the other driver was extremely negligent and either not paying attention or on his phone or something unfortunately this was during covid and when the police came they didnt do a single thing to check for any of that. We can't say enough good things about Aaron Tillman he gave us our hope back and the ability to have back surgery to repair a lot of his back issues due to the car wreck. So if you have been in an accident definitely call Tillman Law they're amazing super professional, kind and empathetic beings who will work for the best possible outcome for your case and fight they won't just roll over and play dead they spent about 2.5 years on my husbands case never giving up. He was always super honest with my husband and always communicated everything. So again, thank you, Aaron Tillman, and thank you to your law firm for working so tirelessly. We appreciate it more than you know.

I can’t recommend Tillman Law enough. We were in a sticky situation from a car accident in December and my partner was out of work for over a month. Aaron told us we may not be able to get those lost wages, but he would definitely try to fight the insurance for them and even then we might not see the money for a long time. It’s only been 3 1/2 months since the accident and we just got our lost funds today. Tillman Law was quick, efficient, and made this entire situation much less painful. I appreciate everything they’ve done for us.
